Earth’s Essence Pinotage

Traditional KWV wines are fabulous so I was excited to try this “new age” way they are preserving Pinotage:

By utilising a revolutionary natural process using indigenous Rooibos and Honeybush during the winemaking process their powerful anti-oxidants protect the wine naturally negating the use of added sulphites or preservatives.

Firstly a label on a bottle of wine will either entice me to buy it or look past it on the shelf of the bottle store and I must say the Earth Essence label is very eye catching and your eye is immediately drawn to the bottom of the label “No Sulphites or preservatives added“. Not to mention the wonderful name – Earth’s Essence. The shape of the bottle and screw top are also pleasing, so a good start before evening opening the bottle!

Now, I am not a fan of Rooibos tea so was slightly sceptical about the whole Rooibos flavour but was a greatly mistaken. This wine truly is fantastic. So as not to undermine this great wine, I quote the makers:

Miss Mandy for the win! Congrats lovely lady. Sounds like a good drop, although like you, the Rooibos flavours would have initially put me off too. Wish we could share a glass…. Wait, we can, in just a couple of months.

Happy week ahead to you sweets. Squishy hugs and loves across the oceans to you. xoxo
